Despite the increase in the number of flights, the airport always ensures best services to passengers. Additionally, security and order at the airport have been kept safely.

Recently, Middle Airports Corporation has organized a large-scale rescue maneuver at Cam Ranh International Airport.

Cam Ranh International Airport is confirming a commanding position in aviation of the province and the region. Beside supplying good services for passengers, the airport has asked the provincial People’s Committee to be upgraded to receive larger planes and more flights.

“The provincial People’s Committee has submitted the Government to open Nha Trang – Hue airline, which will facilitate passengers and the development between the two tourist provinces Khanh Hoa and Thua Thien Hue”, revealed Luong Van Thanh, director of the airport.
